Rabbi Irving Schnipper
urged the
rabbinic and lay communities to visit the
sick and aid the dying decades before
Jewish Hospice and Chaplaincy Network
was organized. He did not want any Jew to
die alone.
In his retirement, he continues his life-long
dedication to hospice care, visiting the
Jewish dying, listening to their stories,
praying with them and holding their hands.
"This is in his heart. He is an inspiration to
his colleagues and everyone around him,"
said JHCN Executive Director Rabbi E.B.
Freedman. "Rabbi Schnipper is the model
for how pastoral care is supposed to be. We
are blessed to have him on our team."
No JEw IS EVER ALONE
